There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Country-code TLDs are sponsored by the nation-state, but they still fall under the aegis of ICANN.

Keep it a secret.

Three groups:

1. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the non-profit in charge of domain names.
2. Domain sponsors, the organization that agrees to provide the infrastructure for a particular top level domain. For example, .com is sponsored by Verisign.
3. The registrar you deal with has a license from the sponsor to sell registrations for a top level domain.

You pay the registrar, the registrar pays the sponsor, and the sponsor pays ICANN.

Network (1976). Quite possibly the best movie ever made.

No, putting money in your own bank account is not like paying rent because you still own the money and can still spend in on other things. Paying rent to a landlord, or dues into a maintenance account, removes the money from your ownership and prevents you from spending it on other things.

The part that makes it similar to a landlord is the necessity for someone to actually be responsible for the building as a whole. “Dues” is just “rent” by another name.

First off all, yes they can for all practical purposes. Or, alternately, neither can humans. So the point is academic. There is little difference between the end result from an AI and a human taken at random.

Not even the AI companies’ marketing departments go that far.

That sounds an awful lot like a landlord. And if no rent is being collected, where is the money for the bank account coming from?

How many dead bodies I’ve discovered, and how many doors I’ve had to break down.

So nobody owns the building?

No. Every parameter in the LLM, not just the prompt, is or was a new human idea at some point.

Physician, heal thyself, then.

“Humans can have new ideas” isn’t “humans only have new ideas”.

I can’t tell whether you’re saying I don’t know what I’m talking about, or you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Language is itself invented by humans.

No. Large Language Models only regurgitate what they’ve been fed.

Because humans can have new ideas.

Large language models (what marketing departments are calling “AI”) cannot synthesize new ideas or knowledge.

You’re ignoring apartment blocks and similar high density developments.
